Assassin Recruit Missions

As was introduced in Brotherhood and refined in Revelations, Connor Kenway has the ability to recruit Assassins and send them on missions around the world to fight the Templars and take over territories.

Unlike in the past games, the only way to gain an Assassin recruit in III is to completely liberate a district. To do this, Connor must speak with each districts Liberation Contact, and be given a series of objectives to complete while in the area. After completing them all, Connor and the Contact join forces to fight and kill the Templar leader of the District, releasing it from their control, and allowing Connor to recruit them into the order.

Recruits gain XP from both Missions and from when Connor calls them in to help him in open combat or to assassinate a target.

Each individual Assassin has their own equipment, tactics and special ability that make each of them unique and distinct from each other.

The territories that missions can be done in include;
